Nearly finished February blocks

Hi everyone. Just letting you know I'm still on the planet and working on my February Blocks. My son hurt his shoulder at a swim meet and my father had some exploratory surgery. All good on both counts but it's taken me away from sewing.

I took the blocks with me when my father went I to hospital and worked on them between hospital visits. The hospital is over an hour away and as my father doesn't cope well with hospital stays, we need to visit twice a day. So my mother and I go down and stay near the hospital.

I don't have photos yet. Hope to have that done in the next day or so.

My father is going in for a longer hospital stay next week so life will get a little busy this week preparing to go, but I'm hoping to be very close to finished if not finished by the time I go.

Depending on how things go with my father and when the next block arrives from Anni, I'm hoping to be working on March's blocks while I'm away.
